I'm new to Firefox. I'm using a Mac OS 10.6.8. When I attach a B&W image file in my email account, and I view what I've sent the color shifts to a cyan instead of remaining neutral B&W in the original image. I've also tried to attach it in another email account, with the same results. However, when I open the image in another browser it appears as the original B&W is. Why is this happening?

It could that a color profile is present that Firefox doesn't support.

You can modify gfx.color_management.enablev4* prefs on the about:config page and possibly enable ICC V4 support in Firefox. Close and restart Firefox to make the changes effective.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
